More Databases, Again


MORE DATABASES, AGAIN

I recently stumbled across Wellcome-images, the image library of the Wellcome Collection (concerning, as you might guess, all things medical). It's not just Victorian material, of course (far from it) but contains some fascinating pics ... I particularly liked the image of ear trumpets, a feature of Victorian life I had forgotten. Note the 'trumpet' swathed in crepe for mourning!
